Executive Communications Lead

About the role:

Samsara is looking for an Executive Communications Lead. In this role, you will partner directly with our CEO and Co-founder to sharpen his voice internally and externally, and build platforms where he can credibly tell Samsara’s story.

We are looking for a clear communicator who can effortlessly pivot between key audiences and understands the value in going direct. This role is responsible for crafting, refining, and stewarding the CEO's voice across internal and external channels and formats — from keynotes at our annual customer conference all the way down to social media posts.

This role requires an individual who is an excellent writer, has strong judgment, knows how to build and engage an audience, and can establish trusted relationships with executives.
